In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Lesson
It
was understood from the previous verse that the Wrath of Allah Almighty is
lurking always upon the heads of guilty people. The evildoer is saved for a few
days, but for how long? His woe and ill-luck is mounted on the neck of entire
nation. Whenever misdeeds become common in imitation of effectual and wealthy
people then it should be understood that the nation is going towards the
destruction. If neither it became cautious and nor anyone prevented the
individuals from wicked-deeds, then the Wrath is beyond question. Coming not
the Wrath forthwith, is also a Mercy, because the time for correction is gained
from the respite. The same subject has been explained more clearly in this
verse.
It
is commanded that these people, who associate others in worship and who are
stuck in evils, will search the pretense of those deeds, which are against the
humanity, that, which act they are committing, is the same as their fathers used
to do. They say: If Allah had not liked these matters, He would have stopped us
very earlier. That, which you say that we should give up all things as - thinking
about other things leaving Allah, and fixing some things forbidden and some
lawful without commands of Allah, how a wonderful is it? Tell us! How can we
obey You? These acts have been being done since the times of our fore-fathers. Neither
any of them was ruined and nor the wrath came.
As
reply to their absurd thoughts, Allah Almighty commanded that you should say to
them: Such Wrath, which may destroy everything, has been held up due to the spacious
Mercy of Allah Almighty. It is being postponed for the reason that perhaps;
these evildoers become careful any time and give up evils, otherwise; the Wrath
is ready every time for the guilty people.
The
Wrath have come upon the ancient people and they were ruined due to the
adversity of their disobedience. They used to say also before coming of the
Wrath that evil and sin is nothing. Continue committing whatever you wish.
Wrath and punishment will never come. At last, the Wrath came and they were
removed from the Home Page of the Existence.
There
is severe warning for us in this verse. We should understand it thoroughly that
those deeds which have been forbidden in the Holy Qur’an and the evildoers have
been frightened from their punishment; it is the time to give up them. This respite
should be taken as a blessing.
The
earthquakes, storms, diseases and calamities, which use to come in the world, are
meant that the humankind should leave disobeying the Commands of Allah Almighty,
having fear of His Wrath, because human being has no control over the
earthquakes and the storms. Certainly the experience of mankind has increased,
but mostly he can describe only the causes of these calamities from it, he is unable
to challenge them. Saying that: These are the natural accidents, what interference
of the acts of humankind is in the calamities? These are only their stupid
sayings.
